Some Matters of Interest in
Other Countries.
A Great Demonstration Against the
Proelaiming of the League.

A large meeting TO denounce the Govern
Znent's course was held in the Rotunda al
Dublin ON Tuesday evening. An immense
crowd was present and great enthusiasm was
manifested. The Lord Mayor presided.
There were also two overflow meet
ings, at which Edmund Leamy and
7. P. Gill, NJ p, presided. There
were present several English and Scotch
members of Parliament, including Messrs.
Jacob Bright, Cobb, Sutherland, -Fenwick
and Haldane. Professor Galbraith, Prot
estant, moved resolution denOuncing the
edict against the League, which was unanl-
mOusly carried.
The English members of Parliment present
advised Irishmen TO be calm and to refrain
from collision with the law. Mr.. Dillon said
that in spite of proclamations the League
would continue to exercise what Mr.. Bal
four had called intimidation Instead
of advising tenants to be reasonable,
TO double their demands. Mr.. OBrien
said that no Irshman worth a pinch of
salt unless he trampled the proclamation
der foot. but he advised calmness in the
struggle for freedom.
The sensation of the evening was made,
however, by the speech Of Mr.. Cobb, the Eng
lsh member of Parliament for Warwick
He said that the time for words
time for acts. He offered himself for member
ship in the National League, to stand or fall
with its fortunes He also counseled steady
rebellion to the enforcement of unjust laws.
Mr.. Jacob Bright, NJ. P, the brother Of
John Bright, also made some remarks con-
corning the views of the English Liberals.
He declared himself ready to sustain
the League in its fight against the Gov
eminent. He advised great patience and self
control, but at the same time a steady re-
sistance to the proclamation. He said that
the tide was turning in England. If the
Irishmen only acted with patience he be-
lieved the hour of delivery was near at hand.
Before the proceedings closed the following
strongly worded resolution was passed by a
unanimous and most enthusiastic vote:
Resolved, That this meeting of the citizens
of Dublin denounces in the face of the civ
ilized world the proclamation of the Irish
National League as an INSCRIPTIONS at

of a peaceful and constitutional struggle
for their rights, and to disarm them of an

to sympathy with the sufferings and aspira-
lions of the Irish people, and that we hereby
declare our determination never to submit to
SO gross an outrage upon our constitutional
liberties"
